LeBron James surprised basically everybody on Sunday by returning to the Lakers lineup well, well ahead of schedule. While every report tabbed his return as coming in the final week of the season, LeBron ended up coming back with more than a half-dozen games to spare.

Naturally, in peak LeBron fashion, he credited his return to the work of the “LeBron James of feet” — yes really — and ultimately came back multiple weeks earlier than most do with the same or similar injuries. Jokes aside, it is a testament to how much LeBron focuses and spends on his body to stay at the top level.
